A boy was sitting on the steps of a door one day. He had a stick in one hand,1in the other hand a large piece of bread and butter, which somebody had kindly given him. While he was eating it and singing a song happily, he saw a poor little dog quietly2not far from him. He called out to it, “Come here, poor dog!”

    Hearing this, the dog woke up, rose with its ears3and wagged its tail. Seeing the boy eating, it came near him. The boy held out to it a piece of his bread and butter. As the dog stretched out its head to take the4, the boy quickly drew back his hand and hit it5on the nose. The poor dog ran away,6loudly, while the cruel boy sat, laughing at the trick he had done.

    A gentleman, who was looking from a window on the other side of street, saw what the7boy had done. Opening the street door, he called him to8over, at the same time9up one dollar between the finger and thumb.

    “Would you like this?” said the gentleman.

    “Yes, if you10, sir,” said the boy, smiling, and he quickly ran over to seize the11.

    Just as the boy stretched out his hand, the gentleman hit12on the knee with an umbrella. “Why did you do that?” shouted the boy angrily. He made a very13face and cried, “I didn't hurt you, nor ask you for money.”

    “14did you hurt that poor dog just now?” said the gentleman. “It didn't hurt you, nor ask you for bread and butter. As you served it I have served you. Now, remember it can feel as well as you, and learn to behave15towards animals in future.”

Kobe Bryant and LeBron James became NBA players when they graduated from high school. Their stories have encouraged many student basketball players in China to dream big. Kobe was born on August 23, 1978. He is an American professional basketball player. He plays shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. His nickname is "Black Mamba" or "Little Flying Man". LeBron James( born on December 30, 1984)is an American professional basketball player.He plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association.He is commonly nicknamed "King James" or "The Chosen One".

However, almost all professional players in China come from state-run (公立的) sports schools. This makes most talented student players in ordinary schools（普通学校） give up their dreams in sports, and concentrate on their studies instead .

The Nike High School League(耐克高中篮球联赛) gives Chinese school players a chance to play their games like never before. High school students from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei compete in the game.Although they have not yet become professional players ,their excellent performances are highly recognized(认可) by a number of people. Thousands of audience of members, including China national basketball team players Yi Jianlian and Ding Yanyuhang, watched the final of the league.

The Nike High School League encourages student players to keep making their basketball dreams come true.People hope they will work hard towards their goals and become professional plays in the future.

Rick Hoyt was born unable to use his voice, arms or legs in 1962. Doctors advised his parents to send him away, but they chose to raise Rick themselves.

With great effort, Rick learned to write his thoughts with computer at the age of 12. One day in 1977, Rick told his father, Dick Hoyt, that he wanted to run in a 5-mile race to raise money to help a schoolmate. Though Dick never ran more than a mile at a time, he still tried. They completed (完成) the race with father pushing the wheelchair(轮椅), finishing next to last. But that changed Rick's life. "Dad, when we were running, I feel like I wasn't disabled anymore!"

And that sentence changed Dick. He continued to give Rick that feeling as often as possible. In 1980, he and Rick joined in Boston Marathon(马拉松) and together they completed 32 Boston Marathons, they also participated in more than 1,000 other races. In 1992 they completed a run and bike race across the US that covered 3,735 miles in 45 days.

In March 2021, Dick Hoyt passed away. In May 2023, Rick died. Rick, along with Dick, inspired(激励) millions of people with disabilities to believe in themselves, set goals and complete something unexpected.

One dull afternoon，Hannah came in with a telegram. 

"It's one of the worst telegram things，Mom，"she said. 

Mrs. March read two lines of it and dropped back into her chair. Laurie rushed downstairs for water，and Jo read aloud，in a frightened voice…

Mrs. March，

Your husband is very ill. Come at once. 

S. HALE

Blank Hospital，Washington. 

How suddenly the whole world seemed to change！For several minutes there was nothing but sound of crying in the room. Poor Hannah was the first to recover（恢复） and she said，"Get your things ready right away，Mom. "Mrs. March again read the message over，saying "I shall go at once，but it may be too late. Oh，girls，girls，help me to bear it！"

"Where's Laurie？"she asked presently. 

"Here，ma'am. Oh，let me do something！"cried the boy，hurrying from the next room. 

"Send a telegram saying I will come at once. The next train goes early in the morning. I'll take that. "

"Leave a note at Aunt March's. Jo，give me that pen and paper. "Jo well knew that money must be borrowed for the long，sad journey，and she felt as if she could do a little for her father. 

The short afternoon passed quickly. All other things were done. However，Jo came back with a mixture of fun and fear，satisfaction and regret in it，saying "That's my contribution（贡献） toward making father comfortable and bring him home！"

"My dear，where did you get it？Twenty－five dollars！Jo，I hope you haven't done anything stupid？"

"No，it's mine honestly. I didn't beg，borrow，or steal it. I earned it，and I don't think you'll blame me，for I only sold what was my own. "

As she spoke，Jo took off her bonnet and they were shocked to find all her hair was cut short.
